Barking Dogs

When we lived in Finneytown many years ago, we had a neighbor whose dog barked all the time. Day and night for hours on end. This neighbor, Tom, kept Boomer, a large white St.Bernard dog in his yard. What made the situation worse was that the fence between Tom's yard and ours was only about 15 feet from our bedroom window. Ol' Boomer may have just as well been in bed with us. He had a low pitched, growling, loud bark. It took about two seconds to wake you up in the middle of the night. I remember one time in particular when Boomer was barking constantly about 2 or 3 in the morning. Tami was fed up and called Tom to tell him Boomer was barking and needed to bring him inside. Unbelievably Tom claimed Boomer was not barking. Tami didn't take that very well. She asked Tom if he thought she would be calling him in the middle of the night if he wasn't barking. How can anybody be that oblivious? The whole neighborhood can hear your dog barking and you say it ain't so? Geez!

The photo below reminded me of Boomer. I wish I had thought of this all those years ago.
